Selena Gomez has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder — and she wants fans to know to know that it doesn't "scare" her.The 27-year-old singer, who's long been candid about struggling with depression and anxiety, shared her health update Friday during a live interview on Miley Cyrus's new Instagram chat show, "Bright Minded."As the two former Disney stars discussed mental health issues, Gomez revealed she'd recently discussed her condition with experts at McClean Hospital near Boston. Gomez was the recipient of the hospital's 2019 McLean Award, which honors individuals who advance the public's understanding of mental health."I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar and so when I go to know more information, it actually helps me," she said. "It doesn't scare me once I know it. I think people get scared of that, right?"The "Rare" singer said she suspects others in her family share her diagnosis."I've seen it and I've seen some of it even in my own family where I'm like, 'What's going on?' I'm from Texas and it's not known to talk about your mental health," she said, adding that young people often believe they "gotta seem cool" so they avoid talking anxiety, depression and other issues.As a result, "anger builds up" in them, she said.
